The Criminal Justice System
The criminal justice system provides a way of administering justice to those who commit crimes. The criminal justice systems includes police officers and detectives, law enforcement officers, various state and federal agencies, lawyers, and legal specialists who each perform their legal duties in a variety of ways, and play a significant role in the effectiveness of the system. Because the security situation in the U.S. is more consistently on the forefront, there is now an unprecedented demand for people to fill positions in the criminal justice and law enforcement professions. A degree in legal studies, criminal justice, or a related field can prepare you for careers in criminal justice and law enforcement such as policing, law, law enforcement, homeland security, juvenile and adult counseling, and forensics.
